Henna tattooing is an alternative method of applying a temporary tattoo to the skin using natural henna. This technique is thousands of years old: in the past, women in India and North Africa made their appearance brighter using henna.
Later, such a “tattoo” won the hearts of women all over the world. Well, today it has become popular again on social media: thousands of girls on TikTok are making videos with their experience of using henna.
Here are the top 5 benefits of henna tattooing
- Natural. Henna is a natural plant substance that does not contain chemical additives and is safe for the skin. Unlike traditional tattoos and permanent makeup, which can contain toxic dyes and cause allergic reactions, henna tattooing is a safe and natural way to beautify the skin. Unless of course if you are allergic to henna 🙂
- temporary effect. Henna tattoos can be worn for several days to several weeks, depending on skin type and color intensity. This means you can always wash it off without worrying about the long term effects.
